Uzbekistan's Supreme Court has a new first deputy chair. Farrukh Abduraimov was elected to the post for five years, replacing Alisher Usmanov, who held it since September 2025.
Abduraimov previously headed the Syrdarya regional court.
Why it matters: the Supreme Court's second seat shapes how the country's top court handles its caseload, and a regional court chief moving up is a promotion from the front line of the system.
